Manic Episode

A manic episode occurs when a person - for an extended period of time - has a really elevated mood. Symptoms of a manic episode include a decreased need for sleep, talkativeness, an inflated sense of self-worth as well as other physical and mental problems. Manic episodes are usually a smaller part of bipolar disorder, but they can have serious negative effects on a person's life. The dangers of having manic episodes are real, which is why it's important to consider treatment with online therapy from professionals here on GoMentor.com.

Dangers of Manic Episodes

The dangers of manic episodes lie in the short term - making a bad decision in business or life when experiencing the mania - or long term - doing damage to the body. Both of these risks should be considered if a manic episode or series of manic episodes are experienced. There is a chance that manic episodes may get worse - lasting longer and being more powerful - if left untreated.
